PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's action was
in-advised and hasty. The President
acknowledges this like man and has the
nobleness and the sensible appreciation OF
existing public opinion to promptly cor
rect his mistake when his attention is re-
called TO it. The matter should be let
drop. OF course. But it will not be.
This tearing open of old wounds; this stir
ring up of sectional feeling; this grand re-
vival OF bitterness that has been buried in
the grave of Time and good peighbOrhOod
is nuts" to the politicians the grand
old party" Il is the greatest windfall
they have had for decade. What a grand
supplement 10 the bloody shirt 1t will
never be let drop 80 long as these political
ghouls can ring q change ON it. 1t is not
to be expected Of them. They must talk
or let their campaign go by default and
what else have they to talk about? But
there is imminent danger of these patriots
(?) getting so drunk with delight that
their mouthings will disgust the sober,
sensible people, North and South, who
have the supreme decision. If there is
anything the people love it is fair play,
and the President will get it and he will
come out winner 10 the end.

Artistic Work of Rare Beauty by Prof. Putt
XII and Several Indianapolis Ladies.

The exhibition of fine pottery under the di-
rection of the Art Association, at No 244 East
Washington street. is not large. but the objects
displayed finished in the highest degree of
amateur aud professional skill. A half dozen
tables hold all the wares, yet each represents
with artistic excellence a money value of con-
siderable amount The lady directors have
been particularly fortunate in their contribu-
tions, which show the advance artistic pottery
has made within the last few years. The exhi-
bition, too, is exciting an interest among art
lovers commensurate with its merits Connoi-
seurs pleased with it, and pronounce some of
the wares equal to the best and most highly
priced foreign products. lockwood pottery has
three tables on which it presents variety of
articles, from the ordinary table service to the
richest ornaments. A iardinere is very beau
tiful, with exquisite shading of LIGHT blue.
This effect WAS but lately produced at that pot
terry, and it is now for the first time exhibit
tion.- An elegant vase of this gronp also com
mands admiration for its rich coloring, and
another lockwood table of Greek design
wins q great deal of attention.

EXPLOSION OF AN OIL TANK.
1t Makes a Great Noise and Causes General
Alarm, but Does Little Damage.

few minutes after II o'clock last night, a
tank of oil in the yard of the indianapolis roll
ing-mill. on South Tennessee street, exploded
with such terrific force that uptown buildings
were Jared. and sleeping people were awakened.
The few people on the street a bright light
fash up to great height Immediately after the
report, and the general belief was that
the depot had been blown up with
dynamite. The report and the flash were
sudden that but few people fixed the location
correctly and it was nearly l o'clock before the
police officers found out what the explosion
really The tank of oil belonged to the
Tank-l Company, and with several other car
loads of oil had been run into the rolling mill
yard last evening for safety. The tank contained
about twenty barrels of coal oil, and the ex-
ptosion scattered the fragments of the wrought
iron tank and the car hundreds of feet in every
direction. Luckily the fire did not COM
munieate with the oil in any of the
other tanks in the yard No one
seems to have been in the immediate
neiehborhood of the rolling mill when the explo-
sion occurred, except the Waterman who WAS on
the other side of the mill from the cars ard if
any was hurt they could not be found in the
darkness.
Pow the oil got to the fire is mystery. It is
though, that some must have at
rached fuse to the tank and lighted it. Pecu-
liar as it may seem the oil did not take fire after
the explosion. There sheet of flame,
and then the wreck WAS left in darkness.

MEMPHIS APPEAL
THE FIKsT DAY


OF the spring meeting over the Men,
phis Jockey Cub course was in every
respect satisfactory to the officers and
members, and TO the large number OF
persons present. 1t was q gala day.
The air was crisp and in the shade
little eager, but 1t was laden with the
compromising odors OF renewing ma
ture. TIE scene from the grand stand,
which wa, crowded, from the gal
lery OF the Club House, full OF bril-
liant color, was everything that was
desirable. The rolling ground that
stretches away 10 the south, covered
with young grass, the trees we'll
clothed and bright with foliage, the
near and we'll kept track Of the
club, a sky that only once shed
tears, all grouped within the range
OF vision, made mp perfect land
scape. The relieis were the brilliant
and animated conconrse OF peo'
pie, the running horses and eager
squirting jockeys. It was beautiful
panorama, the views passing in such
quick succession as shsmed the hour
by their speed. Everyone who par
ticipated was delighted, and the
Jockey Club scored another and
decided success. The programme fol
today has special promise for thos'
who may attend, and the weather
promises to be all that 10 desirable. L
it mot, therefore, fair to predict an
other glorious dayi

MIR DORsHEInER,

Editor Of the New York Star, in a
statement which we publish on an
other page, puts himself right with the
public in the matter OF Clevelsnd's
second term. He says the President
did say to hm on occasion Of q recent
interview that he contemplated max
ing an announcement that would
take his name from among
the list OF candidates for the
Presidency, and save him from the
low suspicion Of al interested motive
in all the reforms he had effected for
the benefit Of the country, and that
stand to the credit OF the Democratic
party. But Mr.. DOrsheimer persuaded
him out OF his humor by an argument
that was just and sensible, and the
matter dropped and has never since
been resumed by Mr.. Cleveland. Re.
intorced, as Mr.. Dorsheimer's per-
suasion now is by the general public
verdict, the President must see that
he is the man for the people, and
should be his own successor; that &C
sording TO his own standard Of rela-
tionship between the people and their
servants no alternative is left him bat
acquieecence in what is almost a
unanimous call upon him to make
ready for another four years In an
Office in which he has revived the
past glories OF the Democratic party
